Adrian police say an Adrian woman had to be subdued with an electronic stun device Friday as she was arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct after law enforcement officers responded to her residence on a loud music complaint.

Julie Reeves, 24, was arrested at 3:50 a.m. in the 1300 block of South Main Street on disorderly conduct charges, as well as resisting and obstructing a police officer, according to a report released Monday by the Adrian Police Department.

Police reported that when Reeves initially came to the door and opened it, she slammed the door as the officer attempted to explain the reason for the visit. Reeves returned to the door with the chain engaged, then shut the door again and threw objects down the staircase in an apparent attempt to pile things against the door.

After several minutes of knocking in an attempt to get Reeves to answer the door again, police forcibly entered the residence and attempted to take Reeves into custody. The report stated she fought with officers, one of whom eventually used a Taser on Reeves to subdue her long enough to take her into custody.
